My hair likes lanolin

[Wandabee]

Well, 100% lanolin like the kind that nursing mothers use. I'm soooooo happy I'll post pics to this thread when my hair finishes drying. It feels so good. I only used a little bit, but the effects are great!

Where do you get it from?

Does it leave any residue? (even a little)

Do you use lanolin to seal in your moisturizer?

 

[Wandabee]

I get it from walgreens in the baby section. I wouldn't call the feeling a residue it's not greasy; mabe because I only use a little and brush it through my hair. Maybe it seals in the moisture I havent been puting any thing else in my hair but this. I'm also doing no heat so it takes a while for my hair to dry.

Is this the stuff that's real thick? My Dad's Doctor prescribed it once for his skin and we could hardly get out out of the jar.(If it's the same stuff)

I could see how it would be good for hair because it was the only thing that kept his skin from being horribly dry.

It's the same stuff. It is metablicly the same as sebum (the oil our skin makes) People of European haritage wash their hair often because their skin makes too much for their comfort.
